Events
that meet established criteria are called “Notable Events” and are subject to a
formal investigation, including a causal analysis.This event investigation and causal analysis
process enables Jefferson Lab to comply with the following DOE reporting
requirements:

Radiological incidents that do not exceed any relevant
reporting criteria, and are not infractions of 10 CFR 835 or other applicable
requirements, may be dispositioned in accordance with RadCon standard operating
procedures.These incidents shall be documented as
“Radiation Deviation Reports” in the Corrective Actions Tracking
System (CATS)
where they are available for review and trending.

Other events, including first aid
cases, are dispositioned for investigation on a case-by-case basis; between the
affected Division Safety Officer and the ESH&Q Division.Information is compiled for safety related
trend analysis.This information is then
presented to various forums and acted upon as appropriate.

At the discretion of the Associate Director,
ESH&Q, any event or trend may be elevated to a Notable Event, or reported
through ORPS or NTS as a management concern.

This
process does not negate DOE Order 225.1B Accident Investigation which
allows the TJSO to do an independent investigation of any event at Jefferson
Lab.Any such investigation is
coordinated through the Associate
Director – ESH&Q.
